When a recruit gives a verbal commitment to a university, a lot of times it is expected for his recruitment to calm and once interested schools to soon back down on their interest.

That would not be the case for Los Fresnos offensive tackle Mario Benavides who has had a busy week.

After committing to the Rebels two weekend's ago, Texas Tech was quick to respond by offering the 6-foot-4, 285-pound lineman just a few days later.

Feeling overwhelmed from the attention received thus far by holding offers from Rice, Ole Miss, and Tech, nothing could prepare Benavides for the exciting 12-hour period Benavides encountered last Friday.
